Is SendMode Web Text better value for business than 02 Free Web Text?

Hi,

While speaking to one of our clients recently, they mentioned that they had been using 02 web text for sending out their messages. Currently 02 allows 500 free messages on its excellent web text platform, after which the user would pay standard rate, typically 10c per message.

This particular client was sending an average of 1,000 messages per month, which meant 500 were free and 500 costs 10c each; total €50.

SendMode currently offers 1,000 messages for 3.2c each; Total €32. Monthly saving of €18 and a yearly saving of €216 for a client who sends out 1,000 messages per month. If you send out more than this, the savings are even better.

So for clients sending this volume and more, SendMode does in fact offer better value than 02′s free web text offering. Switching is easy, we’ll do everything it for you and when you login you’ll see how easy it is to use the SendMode Platform.

If you have any questions or would like to move to SendMode Web Text, we’d be happy to give you 10% extra for free on your first purchase.

Please feel to contact us at www.sendmode.com.

Kind Regards,
John

Generate new leads with SMS Shortcode

Print media and direct mail advertising tends to be very general as they are not directed at specific target audiences and as a result are largely ineffective. On the other hand, SMS text messaging is estimated to be 10 times more effective than newspaper advertising and 5 times more effective than direct mail. This is because SMS messaging is personal to each mobile phone owner and can therefore be targeted and highly effective.

“Roughly one in three searches, even in the smaller categories, are happening on a mobile phone, but how many people are putting one seventh of your resources into mobile?” Jason Spero, Google (Feb 2011).
